Charts: Boston Patch Readers Favor Towers

Those tall towers slated for construction Boston’s densest commercial areas may bring a smile to the faces of residents as well the developers collecting the income.

Patch ran a across all eight neighborhood sites in Boston over the past few days, and 65 percent of those who participated said they were excited to see the construction happening.

Another 16 percent said they were just happy to see the construction happening regardless of its form, while 20 percent said they were wary of new pillars imposing on Boston’s existing skyline.

Those numbers differed sharply by neighborhood. On Beacon Hill, a few voters were just happy for the construction (3), and most support skyscrapers (12), but a significant chunk (7) opposed the towers.

In the South End, though, a sharp majority of voters (25) were happy to see more towers. Only one expressed opposition, and eight were just happy for the construction.
